'Stroked: A Tribute To Is This It' has been made available as a free download by Stereogum to mark the decade since the LP was first released. Although it was put out in the UK on August 27, 2001 and October of that year in the US, the album first hit shelves in Australia on July 30, 2001.

Real Estate, Computer Magic, Chelsea Wolfe, Frankie Rose, Wise Blood, The Morning Benders, Heems and Deradoorian are among the other bands on the compilation.

Speaking about why he got involved in the album, sometime Arcade Fire member Pallett commented:

The thing that blew my mind first hearing The Strokes was that they were the closest I had heard rock come to classical. Their music is extraordinarily orderly and composed.
